I had never EVER coloured my hair so by age 36, I was very apprehensive about starting. I'd watch my friend's horror stories using home colour during the late 90's and early 2000's and was just so against the entire process. When I finally started to have grey's come in, my confidence took a wee hit. As a natural redhead, my hair colour was a firm part of my identity and so I knew I needed something natural that I could easily maintain myself, didn't cost the earth and didn't look like bottled ginger. I found The Shade by word of mouth. The colourist I spoke with put me at ease and they sent me everything I needed to successfully colour my hair myself. With zero experience under my belt, I now have my natural young me hair colour back with no damage and no horror story. I loved the entire experience from website, and questionnaire to support to end colour result. 12/10 keep doing your thing guys! I'll be a lifetime customer.

If only I knew about The Shade during the lockdowns! Superb colour choices. In-depth assistance and support by knowledgeable experts/colourists. My hair is naturally dry and is always brittle after dyeing but the quality of The Shade products (smells and feels amazing) makes my hair look better than I could've possibly hoped for. Oh and the online tutorials guided me step-by-step on how to do a quality colouring job at home. IN. LOVE. šŸ˜

Love my new colour! It was easy to apply and my hair doesn't feel as dry as it does with store bought product. It leaves nice copper undertones without it being too red.

Thank you I am very happy with the results after 2 applications and I would like to put in another order. Is it possible to buy smaller portions as I found that I only needed to use half of the product/application. Kind regards Joanne East

Iā€™m sorry itā€™s delayed as I had to colour my hair before your product arrived. I love the two new colours you have provided me with. I have only coloured my hair yesterday 11 September. ā€¦Iā€™m sending the photos with this email unfortunately theyā€™re in revise order I believe you can figure it out itā€™s quite clear to pick. I sure I will be going ahead with these new colours moving forward. Iā€™m going to see what my daughters think of it when they see me later this week . I promise to keep in touch šŸ˜ƒ

I used the Dark Ash blonde to tone down my unruly orange tones. I have fallen in love with the ease of The Shades kits, colour/health of my hair when I use their products. I havenā€™t found a shampoo and conditioner that matches the quality of theirs either!

A very easy to use kit. Perfect results every time. And what is even better, that one can go up or down the tone to slightly alter the shade as required.

Love, Love, Love my new hair! I have started dying my hair at 33years of age and no salon help, instead the amazing colourist helped me make a selection and assist with the how to. I now have beautiful hair which I am proud of. Thank you!

I decided to try your product as my wife has used it for sometime and she is very happy with it. I wanted to reduce my grey without it looking obvious. I have used other products for years but had scalp irritation recently due to the chemicals in the product. Plus it was not covering my greys near the roots. I emailed one of your advisors who was extremely helpful in assisting me find just the look I wanted. I am very very happy with the shade and colour and no one has said Iā€™ve had my hair coloured, which is just what I wanted. I also love the fact that I am not using harmful chemicals on my hair anymore. My hair feels softer and looks more natural. Thank you so much.

I was super nervous initially, but the colour consultants were fantastic and gave me so much advice and help! I eventually went with a Duo of Bellara Dark Ash Blonde and Montecristo Light Ash Brown. I found that it didn't totally cover some of my really fine grey hairs, but that could also have been my application method, so I'll make sure to apply more dye to those trouble spots next time. Overall, I'm happy with the colour and it has saved me SO MUCH money at the salon.

Omg!! I absolutely love how this has turned out and am very impressed. The coverage is great. There was plenty of dye left over and my hair was left soft silky and the shine was amazing.

After years of using awful packet hair color and my hair feeling like straw for days after The Shade is honestly a God send! Not only convenient that it ships on a regular basis to my door, the smell doesn't give you a headache and hardly stains the hairline. Having black hair I can say goodbye to wearing headbands and hats a week after dying my hair till the stain wears off! Thank you for this product it truly is amazing!

This is the first time Iā€™ve used a home colouring kit. I am tired of spending a fortune on salon charges. I am so pleased with the results, I felt like Iā€™d just stepped out of the salon I will be using this in the future. My hair is a lovely natural colour and has been left so soft and shiny, I canā€™t recommend enough

Great product! It's a bit daunting buying hair colour on the internet for obvious reasons but I don't have time (or honestly the patience) to sit in a chair. My last hair (foils) took 4 hrs. I opted for Chocolate Blonde which in my hair came out as a dark red which is a fun colour. I loved the dramatic change. I've included photos these were taken under the heat lamp so show the end result as closer to how it looked in real life. The last photo was in average bathroom lighting. It covered my greys and is lasting really well considering I wash my hair everyday. The colour has faded into more of a soft brown which is nice. Definitely will buy again - to have new hair at home in 35 minutes is fantastic. The packaging and product is great and the conditioner that came with it is amazing so will have to buy that too!

This colour service is a game changer. Going from blonde to copper and I can now do my hair at home. Feels so good to save money and time and have control of the outcome. After a few disappointing visits to my hairdresser and parting with $350 for each appointment, I was really looking for a change. The quality of the colour itself and the unbelievable service and education you get speaking to the support team is really outstanding. I love how my hair looks and feels and I have The Shade to thank for this!

Fantastic hair dye. It lasts for ages, without fading like previous hair colours I've purchased from the shops or the hairdresser's I love that The Shades hair dye uses natural ingredients so it doesn't damage my hair. I would never go back to any other dye.
